Stories about #thermoregulation

I stood outside with only light clothing for 15 minutes at 15 degrees F. Then I went inside where both the indoor air temperature was 65F and the bathtub water temperature was 65F and I got in the tub for 15 minutes. I did not need to hyper ventilate. The water was still cold upon entry and froze my balls but my limbs and torso quickly and easily acclimated and my head and shoulders stayed warm. Only the contact surface area where air and water changed with movement seemed cold. #thermoreception#thermoception#thermoregulation#temperaturemonth

15 minute 65 degree cold bath attempt number 2. Hyperventilating first before entering the tub is the key. That is why I was gasping constantly yesterday after I got in. It was my body's autonomic attempt at thermoregulating. So if you hyperventilate first before entering the cold water your body is primed or better prepared to experience it easier. This is the essence of the Wim Hof hyperventilation technique. No doubt I could go much colder. Starting slow... Also the room/environment temp plays a major role in the body's perception because it sets the subconscious axis point of the internal temperature scale. More to follow. #thermoreception#thermorception#thermoregulation#temperaturemonth

Check out all those veins in that ear! Elephant ears act as their own personal air conditioning - if they are too hot, they send more blood through their ears where the skin is thinner (and they can fan it out) to cool it down! How awesome is that?! 🐘

Cold bath first attempt. 15 minutes high 70 degrees. Instantly my butthole opened up and lunged vertically about 4 inches off the bottom of the tub deep up into my body and my testicles experienced an incredibly profound ache. My arm stiffened to prevent further submersion and I had to fight it on third attempt I could barely get it to cooperate and lower me down. The edges of the top of the bathwater lacerated my skin when I moved. And my mouth stayed open gasping. #thermoreception#thermoception#temperaturemonth#thermoregulation

Meet slim shady. That's her name for now until she's old enough for an adult name
She's a leatherback bearded dragon. We picked her up at a reptile expo and the breeders had already sexed all the babies which is great
We're going to slowly introduce her to beardie once she's old enough but until then, they're completely separated so slim shady doesn't become a snack

Today I filled the tub to 119° F and instead of easing into it slowly I sort of plopped down in it after standing for only a few seconds and when I did that I experienced a severe crimping of my external POV. It was like a snapping of my physical perspective and it originated somewhere around my anus and genitals. I was seeing myself in one position then that perspective instantly broke forcing me to see myself from an entirely different perspective. It did not hurt at all. It was like a lightning fast cramp in my consciousness only without pain. It was very very strange. I've never felt anything like it before. It was as if a tendon suddenly snapped but it wasn't a tendon it was my proprioception or something. Really strange!
